We should group some languages (on a language basis, manually specify the associations).

@jayvdb what is this blocked by?

from coala-quickstart.

Not sure why was blocked. Probably grouping of languages.
@satwikkansal do you have some insight on this issue.
Seems like it might cause headaches for current project.

from coala-quickstart.

hmm, not sure why this would be troubling for current project. The discrepancy is probably due to https://gitlab.com/coala/coala-utils/blob/master/coala_utils/Extensions.py#L8 which is being used here

Ah yes, that is a problem that needs a new design.

Imo we should be trying to detect the primary language of the project. Usually .c files outnumber .h files, so the most frequent extension could be a simplistic solution which works well enough.
